Dreamlords: The Reawakening Beta

Lockpick Studios last year released a MMORTS that received some pretty good reviews from the major MMO websites. This year the Swedish studio is following up on that success with a followup to that game called Dreamlords: The Reawakening.

I received a press release today from Lockpick and an invitation to participate in the beta. In fact the beta is open to anyone to participate in. Just go to the Dreamlords The Reawakening site and sign up.

Here is the press release:

Dreamlords The Reawakening is the follow-up to last year’s acclaimed
MMORTS debut title (Stratics 8/10 – MMORPG.com 7.6/10 – TenTonHammer
4/5 – GamersHell 8/10) from Swedish Lockpick Entertainment. Blending the
popular RTS and RPG genres, The Reawakening is set in a ravaged world where
the players each controls a Dreamlord, a celestial warlord, in their quest
to restore order and peace.

• Free to Play.
• Recruit and manage your troops, form alliances with other players or crush them…
• Bring your Dreamlord with you all the time in the game, equip it with various exciting gear and cool stuff.
• Simplified rules system, easy to get into – hard to master.

Like its predecessor, Dreamlords The Reawakening is a MMO-cross genre game
that combines role playing aspects such as character development, trade
skills, and special abilities with a RTS combat mode. Developed in close
co-operation with the massive community, The Reawakening has an
asynchronous online model where an infinite amount of players exist in the
same universe where fierce battles are fought between players over the
precious lands. Dreamlords is much like playing a traditional RTS game
online with the added enhancement of a persistent world filled with
exploration, questing and wars for conquest.

Dreamlords – The Reawakening is a free-to-play MMORTS that will be
available at www.dreamlords.com in a near future.
